When we say that we care about student success at Halifax Community College, here's what we mean: Teaching and Learning is our top focus. Our faculty truly care about our students and are personally committed to providing an enriching learning environment. We want students to achieve their goals, complete their programs, and enter the next phase of life equipped with the skills that lead to success. In my English classes, I challenge my students to face their fears and to bring their passion and energy to the work that matters most to them. I have a background in journalism and creative writing, but being in a classroom for that moment when a student realizes "I can do this," is unlike anything else.

I went to school to become a writer. My first real job was working at a newspaper, where I did a lot of writing. I love a good story. I also love to travel and play basketball. Before moving to Eastern North Carolina in 1992, I lived and grew up in Florida. I was born in Germany. Home is Rocky Mount with my wife and two daughters.
